queen's captive gl

Chapter 89 The True and False Princess

Ordinarily, the Southern Territory and Mobei have been fighting for half a month, and they are fighting fiercely, but the imperial capital is still singing and dancing, and it seems that there has never been any news.How long can you cover up the practice of whitewashing peace and not thinking about safety?

Seven days ago, a fast horse of [-] miles galloped into Beijing, presenting an urgent message from the south.

"The queen of Mobei personally led troops across the border to wait for a surprise attack, intending to invade our Dachen land, and ask the imperial court to send troops to support it!"

This urgent document was slapped on the emperor's desk, and Emperor Xixi looked dignified. Immediately, there were three important ministers standing in the court.

"Your Majesty, my Dachen and Mobei have always been safe and sound, so why did they suddenly send troops to invade?" Chunyutai glanced at Emperor Xixi listening and nodded as he spoke, seeming to agree with him, and then Continue to go on, "Let's say, the word "servant machine" on this urgent report means that there is no attack yet, no action, and the number of the opponent's troops has not been ascertained. Mao rashly sent an urgent report to ask for assistance from the court. This, This cannot be justified!"

"My lord is right!"

"Your Majesty! I have objections." Si Wenjie took a step forward, bowed and said, "The urgent report says that the queen of Mobei personally led troops to ambush outside the southern border. This intention is definitely not as simple as disturbing our border. The Queen will lead the army, and there will be an army of at least 15, so don't be careless!"

Emperor Xixi's face darkened slightly, his eyes moved away from the old courtier, and fell on the third person under the steps of the palace.This person is about 28 years old, with an arrogant and glamorous temperament, and a shockingly beautiful appearance. The deep orthodox court clothes on her body can not conceal her seductive beauty that makes every man's heart palpitate. The beauty who can't help but tremble in Wu Zhizun's heart is none other than Hua Guyue, the current high priest of Dachen.

Of course Hua Guyue noticed the gaze projected by Emperor Xixi, but she was not in a hurry, and quietly listened to the two old courtiers who insisted on their words as usual.After a long time, seeing that the person on the dragon chair seemed impatient, he leaned forward gracefully, nodded and said softly, "Your Majesty, I think the facts have not been found out, so I should wait and see what happens. If what I said in the urgent report is true, then With [-] troops in the southern border, plus the presence of the God of War General guarding them, are you afraid they won't be able to hold back Xiaoxiao Mobei!"

Emperor Xixi's expression relaxed, and these words hit his heart.On Dachen's territory, there are two gaps in the southern border, one is from the north of the wild desert, and the other is from the coastal seaport. For more than 20 years, Yan Wang has been in charge of the southern border defense, and the rectification and defense are excellent, and the military force is growing stronger and stronger.On the one hand, Emperor Xixi wanted the vassal king to guard the border for him, and on the other hand, he wanted to gather the military power in his hands. After repeated attempts to eliminate the Tibetans without success, he sent a famous general to garrison the southern border one by one to divide part of the military power. Later son Ling.

Even if Mobei really captures the southern border, one of the two tigers will be injured when they fight, which is exactly what Emperor Xixi wanted.

Three days later, another urgent report came. This battle report written by the king of the southern border in person confirmed that the Mo army besieged the city and attempted to invade the southern border.

Emperor Xixi was not in a hurry, and he just said a few words about the Mo army's invasion of the territory when he was in court.

Today, seven days later, the three cities of Linyuan, Yuecheng, and Changzhou are in emergency, and an army of [-] from Mobei is attacking.Emperor Xixi pondered for a moment, and ordered to dispatch [-] Anxing troops to the south to wait for orders.

In the court hall, Si Wenjie and several civil servants raised objections, but they were all refuted by the other army led by Chun Yutai, and the final discussion was settled.

"Just because the Queen of Mobei is just a woman, how capable is she? Let her taste the sweetness, and my army will destroy her prestige again, and let her flee back to the snowy area with her tail between her legs." Emperor Xixi didn't think so. meaning.

Si Wenjie shook his head secretly. Compared with the critical battle situation in the southern border, mobilizing the Anxing army in Guanzhong to rescue it was equivalent to using distant water to fight a fire. How could he not know that Emperor Xixi wanted to take this opportunity to consume the main force in the southern border!

two days later.On New Year's Eve, at noon, headed by Emperor Xixi, the ruler of the country, the Empress Dowager, together with the descendants of the royal family, came to the royal temple, Dayin Temple, and held a much-anticipated ceremony under the auspices of the high priest Hua Guyue.

After the ceremony, return to the palace in the afternoon.

The palace has already been very busy, preparing for the New Year's banquet tonight.According to the practice of previous years, this year's annual banquet will be held in the Hall of Central Harmony. The Hall of Central Harmony has been refurbished a few days ago. The Ministry of Rituals has set up seats according to different statuses. Next, the upper-class jade seats and seats are set up. This is the position of the royal family and important officials. The seats ten feet away are arranged in equal ranks, and they are the seats of the third-rank civil and military officials. The space reserved in the middle is for the singing and dancing musicians to play. site.

Everything is ready, and the inside and outside of the Zhonghe Hall are heavily guarded, and the New Year banquet will be held in the evening.

On New Year's Eve in the imperial capital, the sound of firecrackers exploded, making the sky noisy and lively.Before nightfall, children of all ages make trouble in the streets and alleys, while adults walk in the crowded streets to buy new Chinese New Year goods.In the evening, every household pastes couplets on the doors and windows, and the gatekeeper, please invite the Kitchen God to call the children home.

After dark, everyone went home to have a reunion dinner, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets of the imperial city except for the officers and soldiers who were watching the night.

Outside the palace, a figure took advantage of the changing of the guards, leaped over the towering city wall, and disappeared into the night.

In the whole imperial palace tonight, the Hall of Zhonghe is the busiest. Groups of court ladies Cai'e, inner eunuchs and attendants are all on the two sides, civil and military officials of rank three or above stand in front of the seats beside the road.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"..."

Dressed in a nine-clawed dragon cannon, the mighty and domineering Emperor Xixi took his seat first, followed by the empress dowager, empress, imperial concubine, and concubines with status.

In addition to the emperor sitting on the main seat, the empress dowager and empress Si sat on the jade seat on the right side of the imperial seat, which was slightly lower. They were also dressed in bright yellow and gorgeous clothes. The phoenix is ​​around the sky, and the graceful queen mother is kind and kind. When she sees the juniors who seldom get together during the day at such a grand banquet once a year, she is naturally smiling.

Sitting on the jade seat on the left side of the imperial banquet are two noble concubines who are both second in rank to the empress. Among the concubines, Li Guifei gave birth to the most sons and daughters.Of the two noble concubines with the same status, Li Guifei is much younger, under thirty, with exquisite makeup, lonely in the deep palace, rarely lively, and laughing so loudly.Concubine Ji is over forty years old, her face is indifferent and indifferent, and her expression is dignified and luxurious. Because she has been well maintained all year round, her skin is still radiant, and her temperament and beauty are better than others.

Under the imperial banquet, there are left and right seats. The royal family members are on the right, while the ministers, high priests and other powerful officials are on the left.

Outside the palace, a group of princes, princesses and other young juniors are waiting to be summoned. They will pay New Year greetings to the emperor, empress dowager, mother concubine and other elders one by one.

The respectful eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Chuan, His Royal Highness the First Prince stepped forward to pay respects!"

This is the rule set by the Ministry of Rites based on orthodox etiquette. Among the younger generation of the royal family, the eldest son of the emperor should be respected. Although he has not been crowned as the crown prince, he will be No. 1 on the stage as the eldest son of the eldest son.

I saw that he was tall and tall and looked exactly like the young Emperor Xixi. His Royal Highness Feng Zhaohua came to the steps with confidence, and saluted. Already!"

Emperor Xixi was in good spirits and was very happy, and the New Year's gift to Ai'er was quite heavy, among them was a golden dragon coat with [-]-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it, this is a costume only for a prince!Emperor Xixi bestowed the title on the eldest son in front of the royal relatives, civil and military ministers, and some thoughtful people speculated that the eldest prince would become the crown prince at the latest in the next year.

The annual ceremony for the Empress Dowager and the Empress was much simpler, and a big red envelope was sealed according to folk customs.

And this second person is also the son of the royal family, but it is not from Emperor Xixi, but the posthumous daughter of the first emperor—"Legend, Her Royal Highness Princess Hanyue came forward to pay respects!".

Under the bright lights of the inner hall, she walks calmly, with jasper-chan and phoenix hairpins inserted obliquely in a half-up bun, purple brows hanging from her forehead as thin as cicada's wings, and the veil half covering her face to hide her beautiful beauty. The yellow dress hesitated and dragged forward.

All the relatives and brothers on the field cast amazed eyes.It is said that Princess Hanyue, the first emperor's daughter-in-law, has the same peerless beauty as Empress Mu.It's a pity that this noble princess always wears a light veil, and because of her weak body, she stays in her boudoir all year round and rarely appears in front of people.

"My nephew and granddaughter Wuyang send New Year greetings to the emperor's uncle, emperor's grandma, and empress!"

Princess Hanyue Feng Wuyang saluted and nodded her head. The slightly hoarse female voice was not in line with her noble and elegant temperament.

Emperor Xixi's eyes flashed with displeasure, but his face showed the kindness of his father, "Wuyang, it's hard for you to hold back your physical discomfort and come to the banquet! Please bear with me for a while, I will send someone to send you back later .”

Princess Hanyue thanked her for her kindness.After the deacons and eunuchs read the rewards, they walked according to the procedure, and came to the empress dowager and the queen's jade throne and sat on their knees, half-hanging their heads, to accept the gifts.

The empress dowager smiled slightly, and took the red envelope from the tray in the hand of Gong'e, who was attending the ceremony, and gave it to the young grandchildren.

Princess Hanyue took the red envelope respectfully, and when she raised her eyes, her divine eyes were shining brightly, which made the empress dowager flicker.

"Princess Hanyue is really getting more and more beautiful the longer she grows, she should pay attention to her body at ordinary times!" Queen Si smiled and said with a smile. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Feng Wuyang was more beautiful and eye-catching this year than in previous years. The man is infatuated.

Fortunately, the number one beauty in the palace is a princess, not one of the three thousand beauties!

Princess Hanyue nodded and said yes. After receiving the red envelope, she took a seat under the guidance of the maid of honor. The seat on the right was second only to the eldest prince, which showed her noble status.

The respectful eunuchs began to shout loudly again, one by one, from the dragon son and the phoenix girl to the princesses of the princes stationed in Beijing, half an hour had passed since the round of rewards was over, and the civil and military officials behind them thanked the emperor They also took their seats one after another.

After the emperor rewarded the courtiers who have made great achievements and hard work in the past year, the annual banquet officially started. To put it bluntly, it was eating, drinking, listening to music, watching operas and dancing, and watching the year together.

As in previous years, after the solemn service, the music was played, Maggie danced, and there was laughter and joy throughout the banquet, which was very lively.

However, there were variables in this year's New Year's banquet, whether it was big or small, and it was not something that the guards of the imperial forest and the civil and military officials could do.

Just when everyone was drinking happily, there was a commotion outside the door, and the people who rushed in were people who could not be stopped by the Imperial Forest Army—gorgeous palace attire, the same chestnut curly hair, slender figure, good temperament, the same A woman in a veil.

Everyone was stunned, another Princess Hanyue?With such a movement, even the legato musicians and the gracefully dancing Maggie stopped in shock.

The woman who rushed in hurriedly knelt under the throne, her voice trembling slightly, "The Luanfeng Palace was suddenly attacked by assassins, my niece came a step late, I hope the emperor will forgive me!"

The royal family in the palace, the courtiers and the Marquis are already dumbfounded. Princess Hanyue is sitting on the right seat, and another Princess Hanyue walks in the hall. What's going on?

"What's going on?" Emperor Xixi frowned, looking back and forth at Princess Hanyue sitting on the right seat and Princess Hanyue kneeling in front of the hall, and sternly expressed everyone's confusion.

The commander of the imperial forest army saw two princesses appearing in the palace, and heard that there were assassins appearing in the palace. No matter who was real or who was fake, there was always one person with malicious intentions.

"Princess Hanyue, what the hell is going on here?" Some people in the seats began to discuss.

Princess Hanyue in front of the throne heard something strange, raised her head and followed her gaze, and saw that there had been a dress similar to hers in her seat over the years... Princess Hanyue!

No, how is that possible.

"She is fake, she is not... I, I am the real one!" Princess Hanyue shouted in front of the throne, extremely excited.

Although the appearance is unrecognizable, this voice is familiar with Princess Hanyue's voice.Therefore, all eyes on the stage turned to the protagonist in the right seat, while Princess Hanyue in that seat was still sitting calmly, unmoved by the farce at all.

"Uncle Emperor, you know, I am the real one..." Princess Hanyue in front of the throne was anxious to defend herself again.

Emperor Xixi stopped her from talking with his eyes, and winked at the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, who immediately understood and ordered to surround Princess Hanyue on the right seat.

I saw that Princess Hanyue at the banquet was calm, raised her chin slightly, and looked directly at Emperor Xixi fearlessly, "Uncle Emperor, you know, I am the real one!"

The same voice, exactly the same, caused a burst of chatter, and even Princess Hanyue in front of the palace stared at her with frightened eyes.

At this moment, even Emperor Xixi couldn't react in time.Some people stood up from the seats, bowed to the noble figures on the throne, and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, I think that the authenticity can be verified by letting the two princesses take off their veils together. The voice can be imitated, The appearance must be impossible!"

Emperor Xixi squinted his eyes and saw that it was the young Uncle Guo, Si Fangming, younger brother of Empress Si.

The clan members and dignitaries present all nodded and said, "This statement is feasible."

Emperor Xixi twitched his brows, his face darkened, how could he make Princess Hanyue do what she said?Since it is impossible to tell the truth from the fake, it is enough to arrest both of them. Just as he was about to speak, the Empress Dowager took a step ahead of him, "Emperor! How can my princess of Dachen allow others to pretend to be fake? The Ai family also thinks that it should be verified on the spot." Whether it’s true or not, it’s clear at a glance whether it’s a princess or an assassin, and you must never let it go.”

Emperor Xixi's face was a little gloomy, even the queen mother said so, what else could he say under the eyes of everyone?Fortunately, he had thought about such a possibility long ago, and was fully prepared.

Princess Hanyue at the table stood up and walked towards the throne following her steps, and the Imperial Forest Army followed suit.

"You, don't come here!" Princess Hanyue in front of the throne took two steps back, with a look of panic in her eyes.

"Heh!" The charming eyes of the person who came were smiling, and the same voice came out from behind the veil, "Didn't you say that you are Princess Hanyue, please!"

Princess Hanyue in front of the throne glanced quickly at the emperor in the hall, who stared at her unmoved.All eyes on the field were on the two of them, and it was hard to get off the horse.Taking a deep breath, he resolutely resolutely said, "Okay, you hateful assassin, if you dare to pretend to be the princess, you just wait to die!"

After finishing speaking, she raised her jade hand and took off the veil.The facial features with delicate makeup are bright and eye-catching, the outline is as sharp as a knife, and the deep beautiful eyes are soul-stirring, all the men present are tempted by it.

Not long after, someone exclaimed in a low voice: "It's so stunning, it's hard to find in the world, you can't go wrong!"

Seeing the reaction of all the ministers in the hall, Emperor Xixi was very satisfied, "What are you doing standing there? Haven't you taken down the assassin yet?"

The emperor has spoken, and it seems that there is no need to verify the next one. The Imperial Forest Army looked at each other and approached the woman who was still wearing a veil with the weapon in his hand.

"It seems that you have really put a lot of thought into it!" The woman sighed softly, glanced at the Yulin soldiers who were approaching left and right, gently moved her two snow-white jade hands, as if she had shaken off her sleeves, but there was a breath of air that swept away the surrounding people. The Yulin army repelled a few steps.

The sudden change shocked everyone. What was certain was that this woman possessed high martial arts skills, and she was none other than an assassin.

The imperial army was about to rush up to take her down, but saw the woman raised her hand and took off her veil.Immediately, there was no sound in the hall, and all eyes were on the woman.

That beautiful jade face has not been applied with any makeup, so there is no need for makeup at all, the exquisite facial features are already revealing a breath-taking beauty, the slender and well-proportioned figure, turning around at will is extremely beautiful, elegant and beautiful. The natural beauty of a fairy is truly breathtaking!

There is a kind of beauty in this world, if you can’t describe it, you can turn around and look at the other person, the eyes are filled with unbelievable excitement, and the words you can read from it are your answer.

What is stunning?Compared with the previous Princess Hanyue, this beauty is even more beautiful!The noble young man who praised in a low voice just now wanted to slap his own mouth.And the woman who was previously identified as Princess Hanyue also slumped on the ground in astonishment. If a winner is to be determined, it is not difficult to see that she also lost!

When the beautiful woman turned around, the emperor on the throne, those noble women in the deep palace were all shocked!She was so much like Empress Mu back then, they could unanimously affirm that she was Princess Hanyue.

Emperor Xixi's complexion changed, turning blue and white, it really was changing in various colors.If it weren't for the fact that all the eyes on the scene fell on the beautiful woman, his panic this time was really not the majesty an emperor should have!

"Xiao Wu, good granddaughter of the Ai family, you are shocked!" Jiang was still very hot, although he was very excited, but he knew what was going on, the empress dowager had already stepped down from the jade seat and stepped forward, holding her hand tightly. took her hand.With a quick glance just now, she already felt that something was wrong, and then another Princess Hanyue broke into the palace... Sure enough, it was her beautiful and intelligent granddaughter who returned.

Just like the loving grandmother in memory, but her hair is grayer and the wrinkles on her face are deeper. Qiange has a sharp nose and calls out emotionally: "Grandma Huang!" This call is different from the voice I had just now, like an oriole As crisp and melodious, it attracts infinite reverie.

The Empress Dowager is so affirmed, no one has any objection, no one can deny it.

The Chief Eunuch of the Sixth Palace whispered to the stunned Emperor Xixi for a while, he reacted in time, and shouted angrily: "Come here, put this assassin who pretends to be a princess into the sky prison, and wait to be punished!"

"Your Majesty!" Before the beautiful woman was captured by the Imperial Forest Army, she turned her head and called unwillingly, but said nothing. Emperor Xixi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Come! Sit with Grandma Huang." The Empress Dowager did not hesitate to let go of her granddaughter's hand for a moment, tears of joy were shining in her eyes, and Su Shi, who had served the Empress Dowager all her life, hurriedly wiped away her tears.

Qian Ge showed a sweet smile to the Queen Mother, reassuring her.After a while, he raised his eyes and met a scorching gaze, it was Concubine Ji on the opposite jade throne!That expression was extremely excited, her body was about to tremble, and her face showed an uncontrollable expression. She had never seen Concubine Ji like this before, and those eyes seemed to see someone else through her.

After being astonished, Qiange's eyes tilted slightly, and she fell on the high priest at the banquet of the important ministers. The big sister who was a close friend in memory has now become a beautiful woman. The smile didn't seem to surprise her appearance at all.

Of these two, one has occupied the harem for dozens of years, can overturn the king, and the other can shake the government and shake the government, neither of them is easy to deal with!

Qian Ge ignored what the emperor was saying awe-inspiringly at the imperial banquet, and looked around the audience, when his eyes fell on Si Fangming, the uncle of the country, the latter blinked at her, extremely playful.

At the moment, Qian Ge understood it clearly and smiled knowingly.She, who was the focus of the audience, was all staring at the breathtaking beauty. If she hadn't been of noble status and was sitting next to the empress dowager, those noble children who shuttled back and forth between the banquets would have already held silver cups to lean on her. passed.

The sound of "嗖嗖嗖" sounded, and smoke traces rose into the night sky. A moment to the highest point.

The farce at the annual banquet ended under the sky full of fireworks, and the nobles and buddies who were lucky enough to see the princess's beautiful face all drank and had a good time.

Except for one person, at the rare and happy New Year banquet, he held his breath all the way, drank the wine brought by the concubines gloomily, thinking about his supreme status, he couldn't vent it on the spot.All because the niece who had been sent out of the palace for many years suddenly came back in front of the royal family, civil and military officials. The situation was once out of control, and even he, the majestic emperor, could not stabilize it. This niece was indeed his disaster!

Qiange wanders around, singing and dancing promote peace, festivities are getting stronger, extravagant and flashy, people here don't know how the land thousands of miles away was ruined by powerful enemies, tens of thousands of soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and the prosperity of Kyoto was preserved. Only the children of the nobles can still be drunk and dream of death!

Finally home!Why does her heart still feel empty even though her dearest relatives are by her side?

Looking at the sky full of fireworks, Qiange can only feel the boundless loneliness. The person she thinks of at this moment is actually the person she loves and fears at the same time.

How did she spend this New Year's Eve!
